This is stated in a review of scientists from China, published in the scientific journal Nutrients, writes Medical News Today.
In total, the meta-analysis covered 9 studies with data from almost 120,000 participants.
Studies of the connection between skipping breakfast and problems that may indicate metabolic syndrome have given conflicting results – studies in the USA and Japan have not found a correlation with abdominal obesity (type of obesity, when fat accumulates in the abdomen and lower back – ed.)while a study in Iran found it.
Despite this, combining all the data proved that skipping breakfast increases the likelihood of developing abdominal obesity.
What is the connection between skipping breakfast and hypertension and high blood sugar? Five studies examined the relationship between skipping breakfast and the risk of developing hypertension. The general combined analysis showed that it does increase it.
It notes that skipping breakfast can affect metabolic health and “the body’s ability to absorb nutrients,” disrupting its natural rhythm.
Skipping breakfast leads to higher blood sugar peaks after lunch and dinner (postprandial hyperglycemia). Also, hunger due to skipping breakfast often causes cravings for high-calorie foods later in the day, which further destabilizes glucose levels.
In addition, when the body is deprived of food in the morning, cortisol levels can remain elevated, which can increase blood pressure over time.
At the same time, researchers are convinced that breakfast has important advantages. In particular, it can stimulate the metabolism and provide the energy necessary for the normal functioning of the body, as well as help to eat less during the day.
Available evidence suggests that breakfast may play an important role in preventing metabolic syndrome. However, this factor cannot be considered in isolation.
“Other risk factors for metabolic syndrome include an unhealthy diet (excessive intake of saturated fat and sugar), lack of exercise, smoking, and excessive stress.
Skipping breakfast is one factor, but to achieve the maximum benefit and reduce the likelihood of metabolic syndrome, it is necessary to follow a healthy diet and actively work to eliminate other risk factors.” – noted the surgeon and medical director of the Center for Surgical Treatment of Obesity Memorial Care (California, USA).
